All about the layering

Wednesday, March 4, 2015

My approach to layering is that less is more. I would love to pile it on and still look like a J.Crew model, but that is never going to happen. I try not to bring in too much bulk and stick to a limited color pallet.

I hate it when my sweaters bunch in the middle over a button down, so by choosing a thinner knit I can fold it under, thus giving the sweater a more cropped appearance that allows the button down to show and the bunchiness to be eliminated.

It's funny, but layering is one of those things I really feel like I'm only just starting to get the hang of - probably because it isn't all that necessary where I live. I also often find lots of layers to be too bulky, so if I need extra warmth, I've traditionally favoured more hidden layers, like an extra tank top under my sweater. But lately I've been loving the look of a silk blouse peeking out from underneath a sweater. And you make the collared shirt and sweater combination look so good, I just may need to try it next!xox,Cee

I think one secret of layering is not all items work well! My first layering piece is usually pretty tight (tight enough that I wouldn't wear by it by itself). In the end, it's like everything else in life: practice, practice, practice. You have hit the nail on the head with this combo, I think!!! Jodiewww.jtouchofstyle.com

Good layering advice! :) I tend not to layer too much if I've got a knit and a jacket on I'm much too hot usually - it really doesn't get cold enough here. I can imagine living somewhere with snow you'd become a layering expert like yourself very quickly! :)

Preach it about the layering. I also feel this way about people who can layer pants under their pants without looking literally four sizes bigger! I am just soooo not that person and I've had to adapt to it!
